The zombies are coming, and they want you to volunteer. No, not to be eaten, but to participate in their walk. Actually, being zombies, it is technically more of a "shuffle," but the concept is the same. Mezco will be helping to support the Zombie Walk by supplying goodie bags to 150 participants, as well as giving a 10% discount to all zombies using the secret code BRAINS on orders at the Mezco Direct website*.

The Comox Valley Zombie Walk will meet at 4:30 pm on Halloween (Oct 31, 2009) on the corner of 5th and Fitzgerald St. Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada. They will shuffle down 5th Sreet and finish the walk at 6:00 pm, and enter Joe’s Garage for an after party to eat, give away prizes, and partake in general zombie festivities.

The first ever Zombie Walk was held in August, 2001 in Sacramento, California and has since become an annual event. In 2007, the Toronto Zombie Walk drew a crowd of well over 1,100 zombies, a number confirmed by Toronto Police Services. This was the largest Zombie Walk on record at the time.

Any zombies interested in participating in the Comox Valley Zombie Walk are urged to contact walk organizer and Chief Zombie, Zach at comoxvalleyzombiewalk@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page HERE.
